   Tell me why you don't run QBBS and maybe i have a chance to answer your   
   question.

   No. I assume that after years of fidonet wide operation routing bugs would be   
   known.   
      
    MJ> What if I want to check my packed messages match what the mailer's   
    MJ> outbound queue says ?   
      
   If you do routing it does not match. That's the purpose of routing. You send   
   messages not to the destination but to another node. You will have a   
   destination mismatch between the messages and the envelope.   
      
   And even if you suspect your routing software faulty your links would use   
   other software that has proved it's working because you can read this routed   
   mail.   
      
    MJ>> How do I check this without inspecting the packet ?   
      
    KR>> You could see it in the outbound directories itself or in the

    MJ> Except outbound directories contain files like "EFAABCFF.mo0".   
      
   Those files doesn't have something to do with routing. You need to check to   
   flowfiles which are responsible for the routing destination. Those are simple   
   ascii files readable by a simple text editor.   
      
    MJ> I want a nice user interface to scroll through and open such packets   
    MJ> and check the message contents.   
      
   Golded can't do this. Golded is a user editor that is in use after or before   
   those packed mail has been processed.
